Senate Ratifies New Cuban Pact The United States fully relin quished its right to interfere in the affairs of Cuba by senate ratifi cation on Friday of the new treaty of political relations with the is land republic. The pact, abrogating the much denounced Platt amendment, slid through the senate without opposi tion and a minimum debate. This treaty simply surrenders our contractural relations with Cuba and lets us resort to interna tional law.” said Chairman Pitt man, of the foreign relations com mittee. "If I had my way” said Sena tor Fess. Republican, Ohio, "I would not interrupt our present relations.” But he interposed no objection to ratification. The Cuban ambassador, Mar ques Sterling, sat in the diplomatic gallery through the brief formali ties, and as soon as ratification had become a fact, he hurried to the press gallery and, through an interpreter dictated the following statement: "Cuba is highly gratified with the prompt ratification by the sen ate without opposition. The treaty represents a new bond that will more closely unite the two coun tries. This is a real permanent treaty because it brings the coun tries together in closer association.” The women, it is said, pick g >od looking me.! for their husbands. But don’t have him too good look ing, girls, or you may not be able to keep him at home much. The nations may talk war, but wars can no longer be fought on promises to pay. - — Armored Cars, Machine Guns To Hit Crime ' ' U. S. To Spend 3 Millions To Equip Agents For Battle; Army Planes To Be Used. In full cry against the wave of kidnapings, hold-ups and othei crimes by daring criminals, the De partment of Justice is preparing tc spend approximately three millior dollars at once for adding 270 special agents to its force with modernized equipment. An|d for the first time since the organization of the Bureau of In vestigation. Federal agents wil have the privilege, heretofore usur ped by desperadoes amd gangsters, of carrying machine guns, repeat ing rifles, sawed-off shotguns anc wearing bullet-proof vests. In addition the department is arranging to purchase 200 high powcitd automobiles as well as bul let-preof armored, cars, which will, at least, give them an even break in their war on gangland. Heretofore, while gangsters and killers of the Dillinger type moved rapidly from the scene of one crime to another in expensive, fast mov ing cars, special agents of the de partment have been forced to givc chase on secsond-hand automobiles seized during the prohibition era. At the same time, arrangements have been made with the War De partment whereby jus ice agents may have the use of Army ait - planes at any time in apprehending criminals. r_ _ __ -l_ agents will be rushed to the scene of a crime or a man-hunt in air planes and in their new high-po?.’ ered automobiles, equipped with machine guns and repeating rifles. Until the machine gun slaughter of Federal and State officers at Kansas City last year, Federal men had no wapons but automatics. This has all been changed by the bills passed by Congress which will give the Federal Government a power long needed in its war igains: predatory criminals. One of the most Important is the sill making it a Federal offense to till a Federal officer or to assault ne. When tre Dillinger gang mur ered Special Agent Carter Baum t Little Bohemia, Wis., a few veeks ago, no Federal law was vio-! ated. The same was true when special Agent Raymond Caffrey md two other officers were mowed down, by machine gunners in front >f the Kansas City Union Station. The only Federal charge out standing against Dillinger is a vio lation of the Dyer Act, which has to do with the transportation of a stolen automobile acrosss a State linle. The new crime laws will streng then the Gvernment’s arm of law enforcement and give the agents an even break in getting their man, A good kidnaper will not prob ably get much money out of his trade under present conditions, but he has an excellent chance of ob taining free board for the rest of his life, which in many states will not be any very long period. Closed Factories ' A Greater Menace Than Closed Banks g^THE PAYLESS r PAY DAY IN THE HOME LJ 111 CLOSED f°RtASc WOBK.IMG CAprrALj M •» AM - ; MILL CLOSED | MO WORKING CAPITAL]1 EaifilSifil ■(if i Closed banks tie up money and work many hardships upon deposi tors and stockholders, but what about closed factories—factories that are forced to shut down and curtail employment for lack of working capital? They work hardships far greater than mere financal losses. Closed factories take away millions of in dustrious and intelligent 'Ameri cans the wages upon which they Jepend for a living. Closed fac tories cut off their only ncomes. Closed factories cause families to uffer. Closed factories breed hunger, discontent and unemployment. Closed factories strike at the fundamentals of our national life. They are a greater menace to Am ]*rica than closed banks. Uncle Sam has the power to do something about closed fac tories. He helped the closed banks to re-open with federal loans. He kept the railroads and insurance companies going with federal loans. He eased the agricultural situa tion with federal loans. Why not federal loans for indus try to keep the factories open? . ... i. ...i . — I— i«... > r CAMERAGRAPHS | *" 1 1 11 --- ..

HARRY RICHMAN, star of stage, screen and radio, who broadcasts .3jra| every Wednesday night over a nationwide hook-up, thinks radio programs are intended primarily for listeners in their homes and not for studio audiences.

Spring fever in its most virulent form can grip the na tion, and golfers can plow the sod in frantic earnest, but Spring is not really here until the barefoot nymphs get into action. LOOKS LIKE the kind old grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood, doesn’t it? But it’s really .the Middle Sized Baer, who will meet Primo Camera June 14, New York, for the heavy weight crown, taking a rest during a lull at his training quarters. ■■ .. ^1 THE COME-HITHER eyps belong to Mary Lou (Rosaline Greene) who figures in one of the great romances of the air. She’s the radio sweetheart of Lanny Ross and both, you know, are stars of Captain Henry’s Show Boat. Do you wonder that Lanny came rushing !}ack from Hollywood to rejoin the captain’s entertainment crew 7 ( EVER DRINK “SHANDY-GAFF”?; Patricia Bowman, Prima Ballerina f of the New Ziegfeld Follies, brings into vogue an old-time drink called ji “Shandy-Gaff.” She declares, “If you have never been able to enjoy I bottled beer, here is a sure way to cultivate a taste for it. Mix equal f parts of bottled beer with ginger ale, lemon or lime soda. You'll be | pleasantly surprised with the distinctive and delicious'flavor of the drink.** Hard money is said to be neces sary for prosperity, but all kinds of money have been plenty hard to get of late. The kidnapers probably act without much reflection, but they will have plenty of time for that while serving life terms for their deed. 1 he doctors don t approve or inouth breathing, but much taili ng is more apt to get people into trouble with their neighbors. The sunspots are blamed for many of our troubles, but the two pots in the card games on which many men bet their money have probably caused heavier losses. They are proposing to let the foreign debtors pay in silver, and he kid element would favor let ting them pay in fishhooks and marbles. If the insane hospitals need more patients, they could usually find 4 some worthy candidates on the au- 4 tomobile roads of North Carolina. | Bandit Floyd Thought Dead Oklahoma' City'—The disap pearance of Oklahoma’s wraith- , like desperado, Charles ("Pretty Boy”) Floyd, has led hi$ pursuers to believe he may be dead or crip pled. Once the terror of the Southwest with is machine gun, Floyd, bank robber and killer, apparently has not been connected actively with a robbery in Oklahoma since his companion, George Birdwell, was shot to death by a negro banker while attempting to rob a bank at Boley, Okla., two years ago. John' E. Johnson, assistant su perintendent of the State Bureau of Criminal Investigation, learned recently at Sallisaw, Floyd’s home, that his parents fear the outlaw is dead. He has not visited the fam ily for more than a year. Pre viously he paused occasionaly in his flights from the law to spend an hour or so with relatives. Seek Dixie Gold Raleigh—There has been a gold hunt at the 125-year-old Boylan mansion. Rufus Boylan. whose family bought the house, said he had been told that persons living in the house when Sherman’s army infvaded Raleigh sixty-nine years ago, dropped all their valuables in to the walls. The growing season is said to be backward, but the parents say the boys outgrow their clothes as fast as ever. The movement to give every body a vacation has not been so > popular with the people who have ■ been out of work for a year or two > here in North Carolina. , “Pains Gone,” Says Lady, After She Had Taken CARDUI In describing how her health im proved after she had taken Cardul, - Mrs. Ralph R. Courtney, of Wythe ville, Va., said: "I was run-down and suffered from pain in my side. I wanted to feel well and get rid of the pain in my side, so 1 sent for Cardul and began taklni it. By the time I had taken threi bottles of Cardul, I was feelinj much better. The pains had gone I am very glad to recommend Car dui to other young women.” . . Thousands of women testify Car dul benefited them. If it does nol benefit YOU, consult a physician (1 a bottle, at drug stores. --- Drunks Can’t Take ‘Cure’ Hagerstown, Md. — .Twenty :onvicted drunkards just couldn’t :ake it when they were sentenced X) work on vacant lots swinging icythes and handling shovels and akes. They protested tearfully that the work was too h.-rd, and begged :ha< they be put in a nice, cool cell in a pleasant, restful jail. Convinced thar the "valant lot systsem” of reforming liquor ad dicts is a success, magistrates here plan to sentence all other such of fenders to labof cutting weeds and otherwise improving the appear ance of the city. The system was adopted by Mag istrates Richard Duffey and Rich ard H. Sweeney several weeks ago when their courts were swamped with an unusually large number of intoxication cases.
